Capsicum Rice

Whenever i go to supermarkets i am attracted to the coloured capsicums..the red, yellow and orange.
Recently i got a mix pack. Four capsicums in all one green,one orange,one yellow and one deep red.. i picked it not thinking what i will make ..anyway most of the times its an on the spur of the moment decision .. so went ahead and bought it.somewhere deep inside my mind i had a capsicum rice spinning!!! :)

Capsicum has many names.. bell peppers,paprika,sweet pepper, chilli pepper, depending on the species.In India we call it capsicum or shimla mirch in hindi.One website mentions the malayalam word for capsicum as kappal mulaku.(.which literally transates to ship chilly :-?? !!!) no idea how that name came..normally everybody just uses the word capsicum..
I mostly make a very simple side dish with capsicum but today wanted to use the varied colours to adorn my plate of rice.. thus this recipeIngredients
(i made for 2 people so the quantity of ingredients are less.. and close estimates)

i adore the heart presentation renu! it looks so pretty. my mom always used to say that we eat with our eyes first and trust me, just by looking at these pics, i can tell this rice would taste awesome! :P
